Her driver reached in twenty minutes. She quickly got inside the car and put her shades to cover her eyes. There were many aides of her mother and the driver was one of them. She had too much of drama since the time she had stepped into this project. She didn't want anymore. She was tired. The journey wasn't too long. But the thoughts in her mind made the journey feel longer.
As soon as she reached home, she rushed towards her room. Unfortunately she was caught red handed by her mother. "Why are you wearing your shades? There are no sun or paparazzi here.", her mother quizzed. She was no mood in confronting her mother. After the cafe incident she was cautious of her mother finding any issues and making big out of trivial matters for her own interest.
"I am tired. I need to go. ", she said, running past her mother to her room. Her mother didn't follow. She knew that something had gone wrong with her daughter. She had to find out. Simran was safe at her room. She cried as she thought again and again about the allegation Rajbir had made against her. She slept when she was emotionally drained.
Next day, she woke up to sound of knocking. Someone was knocking at the door. It was soft knock on the door. When she came to senses, she realized it was one of her mother's assistant. She opened the door. Sonia's assistant, a short plump woman named Gippy, hesitantly came inside. Gippy had taken care of Sonia since the time she had started out her career. She was Sonia's close confidant and best friend." Good morning Simmy, I am sorry to barge inside your room like this. But this is important. Your mother is in great pain. She has taken the world like a wounded lioness.", Gippy said in motherly tone.
"I didn't understand what you said. Why is mom acting that way? What happened now?", Simran asked with great concern. Gippy didn't answer instead she asked her, "Did Rajbir slap you?" Simran stared at her with wide eyes. She was shaking with fear. "Yes, he did.", she replied softly. "That son of bitch!", Gippy cursed and immediately apologized for the same.
"How do you know?",Simran asked. "The news has been spreading like fire since morning that you had been slapped by him. They have been waiting outside for the statement. Your mom is in fire. If I let the media in, I am sure your mother would kill few of them in killing spree.", Gippy replied, adding a tint of humor to serious issue. Simran was devastated. She had wished everything would be okay next day. But it had spread like wildfire.
